dipfs

mount the ipfs distributed file system to a Windows drive via dokan

basic read-only interface between ipfs and dokan, works by connecting to the local ipfs REST endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:5001/api/ to mount the ipfs distributed file system to a Windows drive via dokan (like Fuse for Linux).

The code is in Delphi 7, and should be relatively easily adaptable to FreePascal or later version of Delphi.

usage (make sure ipfs is already running via "ipfs daemon"):

dipfs /l z       <-- will link \ipfs\ and \ipns\ to drive z:
dipfs /l z /d    <-- same as above, with additional output for debugging

from Windows Command Prompt, try the following:

z: 
cd \ipfs\QmPXME1oRtoT627YKaDPDQ3PwA8tdP9rWuAAweLzqSwAWT
dir
type readme

for a node with a subdirectory structure, try the following:

cd \ipfs\QmRCJXG7HSmprrYwDrK1GctXHgbV7EYpVcJPQPwevoQuqF

Additional Source Code Dependencies: HTTPSend (Synapse)
